Interesting site about the Y-Blocks made in Argentina.
I don't understand much of spanish, but looks really interesting.

hi!!! this is my page!!! am George Nuviola from argentina, the google translation don´t work whit our lenguage, we talk a more complex spanish, very very different to rest of latin america.



ford argentina call the engines fhase 1 for the 292 like the original from EEUU and fhase 2 for the new modification since 1972 to 1992. In brazil the 292 was manufacturing to 1980 but they engine was not modified, they are bulid the same engine from EEUU.



for ford motor argentina is more cheap build a 292 whit changes similar to a small block 289.

It has been a decade or so since there was some discussion on the early Y block List Serve. If I remember correctly, and that is a subject of note, there is a difference in head bolt patterns for the Phase II non-stacked intake port heads. I can't tell from the photos posted here.

Yep...I am not sure about it as I haven't seen either head. But in my foggy memory I remember a yblocker who located a set of Phase II heads in either Brazil or Argentina and brought them to the US. I think thread ended when he said the two outer headbolts didn't line up on his US yblock. Something about a pattern closer to the 302 SBF. But I did some searching on Google and came up with nothing.
